Come and Gone

I slept through the worst of Hurricane Dennis which means that it wasn't so bad for us in our location. Having survived twenty years in tornado alley (Oklahoma), this wasn't difficult. For box turtles, I guess their best defense is to bury themselves but what about the floods?

All turtles except Frankie did fine inside. I was very anxious for Frankie, worrying that his enclosure would not keep the rain out, but this morning he was dry. I am thinking of getting his pig blanket outside into his enclosure just to give him a warm up -- its about 73º but there has been no sun for a couple of days and we are not expecting sun for a few more.

Welcome!

Frankie Tortoise Tails is about the antics of a 101 pound, captive bred sulcata tortoise named Frankie.

Frankie's adventures are often humorous and help to illustrate what a sulcata needs to live a long and healthy life.

Frankie Tortoise Tails are recommended to anyone thinking about being a sulcata keeper.

Since 2005, Frankie's fans have enjoyed reading about his everyday life.

Enjoy!

NOTICE: Sulcata tortoises are not suitable pets for most people. 4 out of 5 sulcata tortoises end up at shelters, turtle rescue groups or abandoned when owners discover how big sulcata get and how destructive they are.

Learn all you can before you choose a sulcata. In most instances, a smaller turtle is more suitable.

If you still want a sulcata, please don't buy baby sulcata. Adopt from a turtle/tortoise rescue group.
